Lamb chops
Lamb chops are rich, somewhat gamey, and feature a distinct savory quality that pairs beautifully with full-bodied reds that have sufficient tannin structure and complementary spice notes. The robustness and fat content of lamb chops also harmonizes with malty, caramel-forward beers that can stand up to the meat's intensity while providing contrasting sweetness.
